Erik won, but he was not as happy as he expected.
Originally I thought this would be a hearty revenge, but T'Chaka was knocked unconscious by Shuri, which made him feel like he was punched in cotton.
T'Challa was knocked down by him, but what he said before fainting also made him a little concerned, and now it makes him feel uncomfortable all over.
But the result was pretty good. After Black Panther's Power was crowned, Erik also sat on the throne as he wished.
Looking at the unfamiliar elders and Wakanda executives around him, Erik slowly said, "Everyone, I have a plan, that is..."
Erik was about to tell his plan, but before he could finish speaking, the elder of the Border Tribe waved his hand, and a subordinate brought up a pile of documents.
"Your Majesty the King, since King's Challenge was going to be carried out yesterday, there are a lot of things that only Black Panther can do and there is a backlog, and you need to deal with it as soon as possible."
Erik frowned and took the files, finding that most of them were people with bad intentions around who were trying to get close to Wakanda, and he needed to be warned.
After reading it, Erik looked at the elder with a confused expression, "You mean, I have to do this work?"
Shouldn't these jobs be done by Wakanda soldiers?
Why does he, the king, have to do it himself?
Elder Border Tribe nodded, "Of course, it is Black Panther's duty to protect Wakanda, and these terrorists are trying to get close to Wakanda and pollute Wakanda's pure land. We need someone to drive away these guys!"
Erik frowned, "But why do I have to go? Can't others be allowed to go?"
Elder Border Tribe frowned, "It seems that you don't know much about Wakanda's situation."
Elder Border Tribe waved his hand, and a set of projections suddenly appeared in the middle. Through the projection, Elder Border Tribe slowly narrated. "Among Wakanda, we have three troops."
"The first team is our Border Tribe soldiers, but we are responsible for protecting Wakanda from foreign enemies. We are the first line of defense to protect Wakanda. We cannot take the initiative to attack."
"The second one is the guard that maintains the Wakanda order. However, the guard needs to maintain the Wakanda order and cannot be deployed."
"The third team is Dora Milaje beside you. Each of them has extremely strong fighting skills and is equipped with Wakanda's most advanced weapons. However, their duty is to protect you and they cannot be mobilized without authorization."
Erik glanced sideways at the expressionless Okoye next to him. This man had not given him a good look since they first met, even after he became the king.
Can she really protect herself? Isn't this guy the first person to get out of the way when someone comes to kill him? It's not a bad thing if he didn't stab himself.
After listening to elder Border Tribe's explanation, Erik pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly, "So, you are trying to say that among Wakanda, only Black Panther is the main force going out to fight?"
Elder Border Tribe nodded, "Yes, in the past, when Wakanda was operating outside and faced danger, his predecessor Black Panther would go there, and other Wakanda's power could not be used."
Looking at Erik's expression, Elder Border Tribe thought he was worried about safety issues, and immediately asked someone to come up with a set of Black Panther battle uniforms.
"You don't need to worry about safety issues. As early as ten years ago, Princess Shuri improved Black Panther Suit. Now Black Panther Suit can completely cover the body surface and absorb kinetic energy, sound waves and energy attacks. According to the current technological level of the earth, Black Panther Suit is an indestructible fortress."
Elder Border Tribe said proudly, but Erik was not worried about this aspect at all, "So I will have to go out in the field more often in the future?"
Border Tribe Elder was interrupted, paused, and then said, "That's right."
Erik leaned back on the chair, "The life of a king I imagined is not like this."
Several elders and senior officials of Wakanda looked at each other, and finally elder Border Tribe said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your Majesty, it's time for you to set off."
Erik sat on the throne, watching these people look at each other, and finally couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the king does not decide everything in Wakanda. There are still various restrictive factors, just like these guys in front of you.
Several tribal elders are connected as one, and are in charge of all matters in Wakanda's country. W'Kabi, the Minister of Defense over there, and Dora Milaje Captain America Okoye behind him are a pair, and they are also a strong force. But the embarrassing thing is that these two people are both T'Chaka's people, and they are not very familiar with him.
After all, this is not the original plot. In the original plot, when Erik came to Wakanda, he brought a Ulysses as a meeting gift. But now that guy has been used by Lu Qi as a one-time prop, and he can't find a second one to increase W'Kabi's favorability.
Otherwise, W'Kabi can still work with him to implement his plan.
Erik thought for a while, looked at the Black Panther suit that was sent to him, and finally grabbed Black Panther's helmet and said to them.
"Get the plane ready. I plan to go and solve those things alone."
"Alone?" Okoye behind him grabbed Vibranium Spear in his hand, "Aren't you going to let us follow?"
"It's enough for me alone. You just need to teach me how to fly the spaceship."
Erik turned to look at Okoye. His eyes were full of distrust, "As for your protection, I don't want to get stabbed in the back."
The atmosphere suddenly became silent. Elder Border Tribe over there saw this and hurriedly came up.
"Of course there is no problem in setting off alone. After all, His Highness the King is already wearing Black Panther's Power. If he wears Black Panther Armor again, there will naturally be no danger."
After giving Okoye a wink, Elder Border Tribe continued, "As for the spaceship, please rest assured, His Majesty the King, our spaceship has a fool mode, even a fool can fly it."
Erik ignored Okoye, glanced at Elder Border Tribe unhappily, and walked out.
Border Tribe Elder also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and quickly caught up to apologize.
W'Kabi looked at Erik's back and walked to Okoye.
"This guy doesn't seem to like us very much?"
"I thought this guy was not qualified to be a king, so I said a few words."
"No wonder..." W'Kabi was suffering from bronchitis, so he didn't say much. Finally, he asked, "So, where is your Majesty T'Chaka?"
"They are hiding in Shuri's laboratory. Under the protection of Mr. Shuri, nothing will happen to them."
Okoye is also fortunate that Shuri and Galacta have played well, and now they can use the power of Lu Qi to suppress these elders so that they dare not act rashly. Even Erik cannot take action at will.
But this is not a solution. Although Erik is very powerful in combat, he does not have the talent to become a monarch. Letting him sit on the throne will only destroy the royalist faction that His Majesty T'Chaka has worked hard for many years. We still have to find a way for His Majesty T'Chaka to regain the throne.
In the laboratory of Shuri
T'Chaka A group of people gathered together and looked at the door worriedly.
"Sorry, father, Erik is too strong, I am no match for him."
T'Challa apologized to T'Chaka, and T'Chaka also sighed.
"It's not your fault, it's my fault for not thinking carefully."
T'Chaka watched King's Challenge recorded live by Shuri and watched Erik's fierce offensive. He not only sighed.
"I didn't expect this guy to have such a strong fighting ability. I also know the fighter from the Mining Tribe. He is a good fighter, but he couldn't get through a round. You can fight with him for so long, which is already very good."
"Then what should we do next? Erik has become the king, and he will definitely not let us go!"
Ramonda said carefully, but the door opened at this moment.
"Don't worry, he's very busy now and won't be back for a while."
W'Kabi walked in from outside the door and looked at the T'Chaka family inside.
"But when he comes back, he will definitely come to you. I suggest you leave Wakanda immediately, lest he come back to settle the score with you."
"But we can't just watch Erik drag Wakanda into the abyss!" T'Chaka thought about the expression Erik showed before. He had also seen that expression on N'Jobu's face.
Erik definitely has the same idea as N'Jobu.
But things are different now. Through Trading Station, they also learned about the current technological level and development speed of the world. If Wakanda rashly starts a war with the whole world, there will definitely be no good results.
T'Chaka didn't want to hide anything at this moment and explained N'Jobu's matter to everyone.
"So that's how it is. I knew my father wouldn't kill his compatriots for no reason!"
Shuri nodded, and then his eyes lit up, "Then we can directly explain this matter to him soon?"
"It's not that simple. Like his father, Erik wants to fight for the rights of black people. Even if we explain to him what happened in the first place, he will be willing to let go of his grudges against us, but it will not necessarily make him give up declaring war."
"He trusts Wakanda's technology so much that he believes that Wakanda can sweep the world at will."
T'Chaka said, while T'Challa stood up, "Then we can explain the current situation to him clearly and let him know that Wakanda is not enough to compete with the world, right?"
T'Chaka thought for a while and finally nodded.
"That's right, although it's impossible for him to just give up declaring war, no matter how slim the chance is, we have to give it a try. But we can't put our eggs in one basket, we still have to find other ways."
T'Chaka looked at Shuri, "Have you heard back from Mr. Lu Qi? If Erik wants to declare war on the whole world, then Mr. Lu Qi shouldn't just look at it like this."
Shuri shook his head, "I tried to contact Galacta, but I didn't receive a response. Maybe... they are not on earth now."
Seeing everyone's expressions getting ugly, T'Challa quickly said, "Even if His Excellency Lu Qi is here, he probably won't say anything about Erik's actions. After all, he has been letting us govern ourselves. As long as we don't blow up the earth, or Erik offends him, he should be too lazy to care."
"And I think it might be better if we take care of this ourselves."
T'Challa slowly thought about it, "Although Erik has become the king now, those tribal elders are not so easy to deal with. Even Erik will probably have a headache. And I think we should divide our troops into two groups. One team will stay here to try to persuade Erik, and the other team can go find Ape Tribe."
"Although they are not very confrontational with us, they are still very loving and loyal to Wakanda. As long as we tell him clearly what Erik wants to do, I think he will come over to help us."
T'Chaka's eyes were filled with relief as he watched his son talk and come up with a plan that was very likely to be implemented.
"Okay, then I'll stay here and explain the situation clearly to Erik, and you, your sister and mother, go find Ape Tribe."
Seeing what T'Challa wanted to say, T'Chaka waved his hand, "It goes without saying. After all, I am the one who killed his father. It is best for me to explain it clearly to him."
Pulling T'Challa aside, T'Chaka whispered, "Whether you can convince Ape Tribe or not, remember to leave your mother and sister there, it is the safest place!"
T'Challa also nodded. If they can't convince Erik, they will still have to fight with Erik. It's really good to let their sister and mother stay there.
